The Shield - Walt Goggins...born in 1971??
Walt Goggins as Det. Shane Vendrell...this cat is only 33 years old?? This has to either be a misprint on IMDB, or I just can't judge age any longer.
Anyone else surprised? Doesn't he look a lot older than 33?

I know. I was also born in 1971 and I think he seems a lot older to me.
This reminds me of a funny story. I was recently surprised to learn that Lance Armstrong is also my age. I remember thinking, "That's weird, he looks so much older, kind of gaunt, sickly..." and then I was like "DUH, he survived cancer."

The only trivial thing about him is that his real first name is Jr.
The Awards & Nominations section for him on IMDB is grayed out, so I'm guessing...no Oscar.

Well, The Shield is a TV show, so it couldn't be eligible for an Oscar. It was nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes, and won both - for actor Michael Chiklis. If Shane was up there to accept, it was just another "chuckleheaded" move.

He was the Producer of (and appeared in) the Best Live Action Short for 2002: The Accountant.
imdb lists the Oscars as only being awarded to the Director & Executive Producer, but that may be a mistake if 3 people went up and got 3 statues. I'm guessing, however, that 3 people went up and got 2 statues...

Red Dirt's a great movie, by the way, *if* you watch it as a bad Tennessee Williams spoof.

For all the doubters, here's Cletus Van Damme at the Oscars:
As you can see, there's three winners but only two statues. Goggins must not have qualified for some reason.
